Girls Names that work in Spain, Greece and England!

[Spanishgreekenglishfamily]

Hi all,
Exactly as the title says, looking for girls names that work in Spain, Greece and England.
Really struggling! Your help will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Celia

Nora works in English and Spanish.
Maria, Martina, Marina.
Dorothea, or just Thea.
Lia, Julia/Iulia (but pronunciation would be very different).
Georgia (Ditto)
Nia?
Anastasia, Anna (I used to know a Greek/English Anna, it would be Ana in Spanish but that probably doesn't matter)
Iris, Alexandria, Alexandra, Martha/Marta, Sara, Victoria.

Zoe

Sofia was my first suggestion.

Mostly because ds in Spanish;English and it's the name we had for a girl!

Elena
Maria

Are next obvious choices imo!

But would Elianna (el ee are ar na) work for these 3?

I can see it work for Spanish but not sure about Greek?

Not sure why it has two are sounds in the pronounciation - I only typed 1 🤦‍♀️😂

My niece - Greek Dad, Spanish Mum, is Artemis. Obviously works slightly better in Greece but the Spanish side pronounce it in a lovely way (from Valencia and pronounce the s, rather than as a "th").

@itsgettingweird I really like Sofia it's short and sweet but worry about how popular it is in the UK.
Eliana is also nice, it does work in Greek too but being 4 syllables I worry about shortenings. Prefer shorter names.

Do also like Eden but not sure if it works in Spanish/Greek?

Eliana is also nice, it does work in Greek too but being 4 syllables I worry about shortenings. I don't like it or Elianna and they will get Ellie-ar-na in the UK and be shortened to Ellie.

Eden will be more like Ed-enn in Spain and Greece.

My niece is Miranda-needs to work, and does, in England, Spain and Italy. Not sure if that helps!

Eva (Ayva)

Sara

Nouria

Christina

Ahhhh this is such hard work. Literally don't love anything. I loved all my boys names. That's what makes the girl name so hard. So much guilt. I like Rose, Matilda, Harper, Juliet, Summer, Eloise, Seren, Sofia and Lucia. Eclectic mix I know. But I can't seem to settle on anything.

What do you mean works ? Your name is your name wherever you go pick a name you like. That's all

Thalia, Maria, Elena, Irena

@ineedtogwtoutbeforeitatoohot your message makes no sense. I didn't say anything about works?
If only it was as simple as just pick a name 🙄

Margherita

Is it really important to you that it’s pronounced the same? Because that’s probably even more tricky with short names like Eva.

Sofia
Anna
Maria
Luisa
Clara
Maia/Maya
Elena
Elisa
Lena
Rosa

Amalia

The first name that came to mind without reading other replies was Sofia

Also Mia, Mila, Maya, Layla, Sienna, Julietta, Gabriella, Anna, Rosa,

Any Latin sounding name would work, I think

Gaia, sabina, Francesca

I recently met a little Spanish girl named Amanda.

Lara
Luisa
Phoebe
Hannah
Lina
Talia
Alyssa
Alma

@ineedtogwtoutbeforeitatoohot , some names don't work in different countries. You could name your baby a perfectly normal name in the UK, only to find that it's like calling a child Fanny or Dick in your in-laws' country.

Some names don't work because the pronunciation doesn't work in the other language, or it would mean correcting people a lot about the spelling or pronunciation.
